Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible for a person who has a disease such as a skin allergy, a severe allergy, to wear the forbidden silk?

Answer:
Yes. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to some people who had scabies and itching to wear silk from his saddle. He granted them a dispensation to wear silk.
